A/N: Thank you everyone for the reviews. Here's another Sunako x Kyohei moments. I don't know why I seem to leave out other characters to only supporting the main ones. I couldn't project Sunako's feelings. (Though I'm a woman myself) I am only making Kyohei look good and romantic. *Did I want this kind of courtship too? HAHAHA Nah...

Anyway have fun reading. Please leave reviews or suggestions. :D

Once again, I don't own any of the Wallflower characters.

Chapter 6

Dinner time, everyone sat quietly around the table. Not breaking silence for different reasons. The three boys' thoughts of the situation earlier in the bedroom. Sunako couldn't face Kyohei, her lips still has lingering feel of Kyohei's forceful kiss. Kyohei don't know how to approach everyone. Kasumi was of Sunako's predicament and probably being transferred to another mansion, Noi and Tamao just felt out of place.

"…Watashi…" Sunako tried to break the deafening silence. This is not the person she used to be and not the person that's life was consumed by darkness. She never falters. She has a strong resolve. "I am sorry for the trouble earlier." She continued. "I think we should forget tonight's plans. I don't think I can enjoy myself anymore. I'm sorry—" She can't proceed. She's lost for words again.

"Hmmn.." Kasumi started, holding her mirth but broke out into laughter anyway. "Just so like you. You haven't change at all."

"What is so funny, Kasumi-nee?" Sunako said with obvious irritation. "I'm trying to change."

"You're backing out of the challenge, you - yourself issued?" Kasumi said with amused smile. "Why don't you just date him then, it's the penalty. Plus I think you owe him because he saved your butt from unexpected marriage partner."

"So-so… Sunako-chan can just date him, regularly. That is, if you want to fend off incoming wave of 'Possible partners'. Practically it would benefit you both; Kyohei can fend off fan girls with your deadly aura." Ranmaru chimed in. As Sunako's eyes gone impossibly big and paled.

"Plus, you've already shared a kiss or two. It's not like you're uncomfortable with each other. I think quite the opposite, since I just witnessed something really interesting a while ago. Kyohei really works fast." Ranmaru teased.

"What?!" Kyohei and Sunako said in unison. She clearly is turning red by the minute.

"Ranmaru!" Takenaga and Yuki yelled. They agreed not to tease Sunako and Kyohei.

"Ara? Really, what did you see Ranmaru-kun?" Kasumi was intrigue.

"Yeah, yeah... let us know the goodies." Noi butt in with big grin. Tamao was silent though and focused on her food.

"Anu ne…" Ranmaru started. "Kyohie and Sunako—"

"Stop it!" Kyohei banged his fist on the table and startled everyone. "Nothing happened. I got mad and I pinned her down. That was it." Kyohei was evidently angry, though he did it to save himself and Sunako from further embarrassment.

"I see. There is no need to be angry Kyohei-kun. Everyone already knows of your feelings for Sunako-chan. There is no point hiding it." Noi looked appalled from Kyohei's fierceness.

"Thanks for the meal." Sunako started to get up.

"Oujo-sama, you sit back down." Kasumi commanded and shocked everyone. "It's very rude to leave the table while others are still eating. Have you forgotten your manners or do you want me to tell your aunt that you broke your promise or her conditions? Seriously, what's gotten in to you?"

"Everyone is apparently pushing me to be with Kyohei, is it not?" Sunako said with a grimace.

"Would you rather be with someone you are not comfortable with and doesn't consider your feelings? It's not like you are unloved, in fact he is in the position to be rejected by you. Is it not? What are you so afraid of? You clearly have feelings for him. Should I go on?" Kasumi said in exasperation.

"What? I do not—" Sunako processed but cut off again.

"Oh right. At least try, if your feelings still won't change in a few months, then there's no rush. You have many fiancés to choose from." Kasumi said it nonchalantly.

"You know I am here and I can hear you clearly." Kyohei complained.

Sunako met Kyohei's gaze. And her nose bleeds again, it wasn't a lot and she quickly covered it with a napkin. It was the quickest she can find and use.

"Right, I appreciate everyone's concern for my relationship with Sunako. Truthfully, I don't need help, I'm sorry. I can take care of my matters in my own time. Just bear with me." Kyohei said saving Sunako again.

"Sorry Kyohei you took too long. And I appreciate Sunako-chan taking you away from my Takenaga. So, I'm sorry. If I can't push you then, Sunako-chan—" Noi stated as she looked Kyohei's way back to Sunako. She got cut off.

"Here's some drink. Let us have a toast." Tamao handed Sunako a glass of Sake. "To our futures, come what may." She clearly doesn't want to toy anybody's feelings.

"Arigatou." Sunako and raised her cup to Tamao. She drank it in one gulp.

Everyone else held their laughter in, but can't help but broke into snickers. So they all drink sake after dinner, not caring anymore. Talking random things in life and particularly avoiding talking about Sunako's situation and with her relationship with Kyohei. For now they just want to enjoy the night.

After a few while, they decided to do karaoke sing along, everyone show off their best singing skills. Except Sunako, she didn't sing nor Kyohei. She is clearly drunk and Kyohei is paying too much attention again. When she was about to take another cup of Sake, Kyohei stopped her. He took the drink instead and she passed out on his lap.

Sunako woke up in bed. She stirred at first, her eyes closed from the agonizing pain that a light brought. And groaned being uncomfortable, somebody's stopping her from rolling and stretch her full length. She is being protected but restrained. She tried to push away from the object while feeling with her hands the structure of object and materialized the image in her mind's eye.

'So, soft hair.' Her mind said. 'Short hair. A person with soft short hair smells good. Very masculine jaw line, long prominent nose, lips--' as her hands probe like a blind person, stopped her fingers on the lips and traces it. 'Smiling? Why?' She continued feeling the person next to her. Her hand drop down to the neck and then traced her way to the shoulder then arms. 'A very long neck line, soft skin and nice arm Muscles. Beautifully trimmed deltoid muscles and great Biceps, probably of a male species.' With that she opened her eyes abruptly. Shocked, unable to speak at what she saw.

"Did you like the feel of it?" Kyohei asked teasingly.

"W-what?" Sunako blushed as she faced Kyohei on the bed. Her mind panicked but she has to get herself together if she doesn't want to attract attention. First ask the person involved, she processed.

"Good morning, I said." Kyohei said with a smile.

"Oh... G-good morning." She said scratching her head. She can't remember what happened. She meet his eyes again as it was staring at her like digging a hole on her. "What are you doing in my bed?" She asked.

"Your bed?" Kyohei looked around out of confusion. "You're on my bed. I could ask the same, but since you are here already. Let's snuggle." Kyohei said with a glint of playfulness.

"In your dreams, idiot." She said but smiled. "Why am I here? What happened?" As she looks around if she's still wearing clothes. She let out a sigh of relief when she sees she's fully clothed; she dreaded the idea when she's drunk and does stupid things.

"I carried you to your bedroom last night. You were so drunk and talk a lot too. I came up here and sleep." Kyohei started. "But when I went to the bathroom around 3am, somehow when I came back to my room, you were on my bed." Kyohei stared at her.

"…" Sunako speechless, trying to process and remember what she did the night before. She got a headache instead.

"You were crying." He said and a sad expression showed. "You keep saying, please hold me close. I just did what you asked. I didn't do anything else. I swear in the name of our unborn child."

"Baka!" Sunako giggled. She started to get up, when Kyohei pulled her down in a hug.

"Who told you can run away after coming to my territory? You are my captive now." Kyohei held her in a soft embrace.

"I'm sorry. I'm not running away. It's inappropriate for me to sleep on a man's bed unwed—"

"Then, marry me?" Kyohei just berate himself for being impulsive. But he can't control his feelings anymore, especially this close to the one he love. "I'm sorry. I don't have a diamond ring or a sports car, or a house to live in. All I can offer you is my love, a lifetime of devotion and protection for you and our future children." He said in a blush but he can't back away now. He was already certain who he needed in his life. Mentioning children, he had dreamed of having them. Remembering the past, how good Sunako treats children. He was certain he can have a happy home with her as his wife, mother of his children.

"Children?!" Sunako's eyes gone big, they haven't even started a relationship and now he is talking about children and with her? She cupped his cheeks, and then moved her hand on his forehead. "Hmmn… you don't have a fever. Vitals seemed normal. Palpitations…" She moved herself to his chest to hear his heart beat. "It's racing fast. How wonderful it is, the internal organs of a living person, I want your heart--"

"You have my heart." Kyohei cut her off.

"How are we going to do that? I want it in my laboratory." Sunako said a bit of sarcasm.

"I want my fair share too." Kyohei started. "I want your heart as well. I want all of you to belong to me and exclusively to me. Then I am yours and only yours. Will give your heart to me?"

"You are persistent aren't you?" She said.

"I'm only looking for confirmation." He said.

"I don't like competitions. I don't like being challenged; I don't want whining they're irritating. I am certainly not going to wear lively-colored clothes. I don't want praises. I like to be left alone—" She got cut off.

"You have many conditions don't you?" Kyohei hissed near her ear. It usually has different effects on women but not Sunako. "How about now, do you not like this situation, our position together?"

"It's fine. I've been offered to you anyway." Sunako accepted her defeat.

"Is that a 'Yes'?" Kyohei teased.

"…"

He chuckled. "You don't handle embarrassment well. And here I thought you are so hard to tame?"

"Tame, huh?" Sunako smiled evilly. "I think you are the tamed one."

"You're right, you tamed my heart." Kyohei affirmed. Kyohei played with Sunako tangle free hair; he is drawing circles with his finger feeling her so close.

Sunako closed her eyes as a form of surrender and buried herself in Kyohei chest. She can't fight it anymore. She's tired of running away, lying to herself, about her feelings. Suddenly the world is not so heavy anymore, she felt lighter. Kyohei's strength will be there to support her and he will always rescue her every time she's in trouble she is sure of it.

"I love you." Kyohei said. His love is always unconditional.

"You know I'm leaving, right?" She asked.

==o==

A/N: Oh good, I finally made it longer. I made 3 stories at once. I didn't make any progress on this one though. I was so consumed with the other anime I'm making the story for. I guess time slows down on Kyohei x Sunako moments, I'm stuck on Monday. LOL I promise I'll have it moving, my timeline is a mess, and I'll have it jump to weeks and months for the next chapters. You can probably guess the ending. Love conquers all even distance. So it won't be a hard separation. Sorry for making it short.

Kyo did suggest to me to get them drunk one time here it is. I decided to leave out the contest too; I didn't intend to make it a musical. It makes the story longer and for songs to choose. I'll "probably" have Sunako sing for Kyohei in the end. We'll see.
